Hi! There is some info on the Tours Route section of the forum. I'm afraid I don't know it myself. This posted recently.

Lavidabeuna,

Since you are in Paris now you can pick up a copy of the French guidebook La Via Turonensis published by editions Francois Lepere. See this link --http://www.chemin-compostelle.fr/ It covers everything you need -- route, accommodations, etc.

Bon Chemin and Buen Camino!

Hello Folks,
Really appreciate all the responses. Here's the specific help that I do need -

P.S.: Perhaps some of these questions are answered or the information is online; I cannot read French so I am struggling with these.

A. Are there Alburgues from Bordeaux onwards? Where can I find information about them?

B. Is there a comprehensive Camino guide book with route maps and details of places to stay, in English for the route from Tours/Bordeaux to SJPP and SdC? Most importantly, where can I buy these guidebooks in Paris?

C. I am walking for the first time - and will be without Internet access. I will have a phone though. Is it a good idea to start from Bordeaux or should I stick to SJPP?

D. Can I get the pilgrim's passport in Paris or Bordeaux? If so, where?

I am planning to leave Paris on June 22nd, spend one night in Bordeaux and start from there.
Any tips, ideas will be greatly appreciated!

Lastly, is the route from Bordeaux to SJPP, including stops, well marked?
